The past determines the future
In 1966, a fully loaded B-52 bomber collides with the refueling plane over Spain. The B-52 was carrying 4 nuclear bombs and the clean up is massive as the US attempts to remove the radioactive materials. A black pilot, one of the few the US has, is injured in the crash and is helped by a young, pregnant Jewish girl who is hiding from her tormentor. She has a young boy with her who is also helpful. The story skips ahead to the year 2030 where Skye, a former DEA agent, discovers some family secrets that she must unravel. Her son, Tristan, also a DEA agent, is now in Spain, attempting to halt the Spanish drug trafficking. She is secretly in touch with the DEA, making sure her son has the support he needs. To explain the Spain of 2030, the past must be explored even the Spanish Inquisition, where Jews and Muslims were killed because of their religious beliefs is a necessary component. Some of the same torturers from the Inquisition, have descendents who are now involved in the drug business and are still murdering Jews and Muslims.
DECEPTION’S LEGACY by Jacqueline G. Randolph is an action-packed tale filled with historical references, as well as romance. It is well-written and even though I have not read the two preceding books, I fell right into the story line. The characters are understandable, have their own flaws, and yet also have qualities about them that make you love them. It was indeed a fascinating trip from the distant past to the future. It is a book well worth reading.
